Welcome to the
West Island Golf / GolFit Fitting Studio…
The number one independent club building and fitting specialist in Quebec

   " You don’t want to have your body adjust to your golf clubs. That’s the worst thing that     can happen to you… When you have a set of clubs made for you, it’s amazing how much better you will be able to play"

         Tiger Woods, Nikegolf.com/fitting page

"In my opinion, there is a problem with most generic off-the-rack sets of golf clubs sold today. I don’t agree with the way they have been designed for the job they are supposed to do"

         Dave Pelz, Short Game Bible

         So the question is; what is Professional Custom Fitting?

             Is it answering questions on a web site to be fit into a driver or a set of irons?
             Is it hitting clubs from a cart filled with different golf clubs?
             Is it attending a demo day at your local golf course and hitting clubs until you find something you like?
             Is it something that can be accomplished in about 45 minutes?
             Is it being able to interchange shafts on a clubhead?

        The answer to all of these questions is a resounding NO!

          Custom Fitting is a very much misunderstood concept today…

Don’t get fooled, a true Professional Custom Fitting involves working one on one with a Certified Golf Equipment Specialist and a Certified Golf Professional over a period of 2 hours or more.





A Professional Custom Fitting is knowing which golf club 21 variables are most important for improving each golfer’s Distance, Accuracy and Consistency. It is also knowing how to choose all the important variables to accurately fit to each golfer size, strength, athletic ability and swing characteristics.

Many golfers believe that custom fitted clubs are only for the better players. Nothing could be farther than the truth. Professional Custom Fitting brings more improvement to middle/high handicap players than to low handicap player.

Further more, when using properly fitted equipment, you will not be forced to compensate your fundamentals or swing technique to get better results. The golf clubs will work with you, not against you and will facilitate your development. You will become comfortable with your equipment and confident knowing that a sound swing is likely to produce desirable results.

Did you know that there is no serious professional golfer whose clubs have not been custom fit? Playing with custom fit clubs is one of the few things you can have in common with a Tour Professional. You may not play like Lorena Ochoa, Annika Sorenstam or Tiger Woods, but the reason those who play the game for a living use custom fit clubs is because they know that playing with equipment that matches their swing characteristics gives them the best possible chance to play their best. Shouldn’t that be the goal for all of us?

                      General Information about the West Island Golf / GolFit Fitting Programs:

Dear Alain…most enjoyable to hit more fairways…thanks

                                           David Groom - Montreal

Je ne joue plus le même sport que l’année passée tellement que mes nouveaux bâtons font une différence. Je fais en moyenne 30 verges de plus par rapport à avant (270 verges au lieu de 240) merci.

                                           Maxim Fournier - Montréal

I don’t know if it’s coincidence but I played yesterday and had my best game of the year…

                                         Trevor Stevens - Montreal

Hi Alain…I feel like I am cheating when I use those irons.

                                        Kevin Gollan - Blainville

Alain… My clubs are terrific. Distance is in sync with my brain and got around in 77 blows.

                                        John Wickenden - Montreal

The clubs are great…

                                        Bryan Fritz - Montreal

It’s time that you know what "attention to detail" really means…
